La Roja then won each of their past six matches, which saw them finish top of their qualifying group for Euro 2024 in Germany, where they will face Croatia, Italy and Albania at this summer's tournament.
Colombia, meanwhile, are working towards the 2024 Copa America, which begins towards late June. They will face Paraguay, Brazil and one of Honduras or Costa Rica in their group.

Spain vs Colombia kick-off time
The game between Spain and Colombia will be played at London Stadium, with kick-off at 4:30 pm ET in the US on Friday, March 22, 2024.
Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente is expected to name a strong starting lineup for Friday's international friendly with Colombia at the London Stadium.
There are three uncapped players in the squad - Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro, Athletic Bilbao defender Dani Vivian and Barcelona's teenage defensive prodigy Pau Cubarsi - and the trio will be hoping to be involved over the international break.
Spain possible XI: Simon; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Grimaldo; Merino, Rodri, Ruiz; Olmo, Morata, N Williams.
Colombia's notable injury absentees list includes Yerry Mina, Davinson Sanchez, Mateus Uribe, and Juan Cuadrado.
There is still plenty of quality and experience in the squad, though, with veteran goalkeeper David Ospina likely to line up in between the sticks, while Cafeteros manager Nestor Lorenzo has also called up Sao Paulo playmaker James Rodriguez and Racing Club midfielder Juan Fernando Quintero after a spell on the sideline.
Colombia possible XI: Ospina; Munoz, Mojica, Lucumi, Arias; Castano, Carrascal; Quintero, Rodriguez, Diaz; Borre.
The draws for the men’s and women’s soccer tournaments were held at a ceremony in Saint-Denis on Wednesday.
The record four-time gold-medalist was drawn against fifth-ranked Germany and World Cup semifinalist Australia in Group B. Those teams will be joined by either Morocco or Zambia.
Hayes takes up her role as U.S. coach in May after finishing the season with Chelsea, where she is challenging for a quadruple of trophies in her final year. She has already won 14 major trophies at Chelsea, including six Women’s Super League titles.
The U.S. hasn’t won Olympic gold since 2012 and is coming off a disappointing Women’s World Cup last year when it suffered its earliest exit from the tournament after being knocked out by Sweden on penalties in the round of 16. It had never finished worse than third at previous World Cups.
Hayes has established herself as a leading coach. She can further add to her record by winning a clean sweep of trophies this season — including the Champions League, which is the one competition she is yet to deliver at Chelsea.
Defending champion Canada was drawn into Group A with host France, Colombia and New Zealand. Before winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Games, Canada won back-to-back bronze medals in London and Brazil.
De la Fuente is missing some key names in defence and could offer a debut to Barcelona teenager Pau Cubarsi in London. Fellow La Blaugrana stars Inigo Martinez, Ferran Torres and Gavi are missing through injury, but 16-year-old Lamine Yamal is included.
